Glimpses from the Time of Covid-19

for B-flat clarinet and piano

Glimpses was written early in the pandemic, spring of 2020. Each glimpse is one to two minutes long. "from the time of" indicates the composer's belief, not uncommon then, that covid was something that would become a thing of the past. Alas, not so. The pieces recall the weirdness of those early days, both the whacky and the tragic.
